tenn of the United States, and for the pur-
| pose OF inaugurating the system it provides
| that the following telegraph trunk lines
| shall first be constructed: One from Wash

Wilmington, Philadelphia, Camden, Tren-
| ton, Newark, Jersey City, New York,

| one from Cheyenne to Denver.
Postal telegraph offices are to be opened
| at the places named and at all intermedi-
ate points at which first, second or third
class Postotfices are established. Branch
lines, it provides, shall be constructed from
time to time, as appropriations therefor are
| made by Congress, the intention being to
connect the lines with all cities where the
postal free-delivery system prevails, but no
additional facilities will be provided in
States already connected with trunk lines
| until postal telegraph offices have been es-
tablished in every State and Territory.
The system is TO be constructed on
straight lines, as nearly as practicable but
| regard is to be taken of cities that will af-
| ford the best telegraphic facilities to the
public. The lines are to be constructed by
the Engineer Corps Of the army, and then
| transferred to the custody of the Postmaster
General.
